New technologies create new possibilities for the study, preservation and analysis of history. Digital history allows for preserving records and artifacts, finding information in digital records, and new types of interactions with historical information. Quantitative history brings quantitative methods to the analysis of history to study data on population, production, trade and other quantitative data. Physical history brings physical approaches such as the hard and soft laws of physics and well as a unified theory approach to bear upon historical analysis. It is difficult to separate quantitative from physical methods, so they are treated together.
